similar to: Making shared folders "unmovable"

Imagine the following scenario Last Saturday, 3:00 AM a big phishing attack hits our e-mail inboxes. Spamassassin does not mark them as spam, and our 50.000+ users have in their mdbox a very credible phishing attack. What doveadm-fu could I use to delete (or move to spam) that e-mail from each user INBOX (let?s imagine the Subject or a Header is known)? I repeat: already delivered e-mail, how

This single-instance storage is going to encourage bad habits! I just found myself preparing an e-mail that needs to be sent to multiple recipients - including several within my own organization - yet it's not necessary for everyone (in-house) to get the large attachment. As I was getting ready to split the message into two parts for distribution I remembered - I can just send it to

OK, So what you people say is : 1. Run "ntpdate" during startup only once 2. After that, keep time with ntpd Right ? Regards, spyros ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis

Greetings I have a customer who has mail server running dovecot with an IMAP account (Customers) which contains hundreds of folders (one per customer). Looks like this: Customers Fred Smith and Co Joe Blogss Cust-1 Cust-n They have a requirement to report monthly on the total number of emails added to each customers' folder during the month. Basically I need to be

Hi, I know my question might sound a little bit strange, but is it possible to download IMAP folders via POP3? I have clients who use POP3 on their main machines and IMAP on their "on the road" notebooks. It would be good to download all folders created on the notebook via POP3 to the main desktop. Googling brought up some results, but I don't know how to implement... Thanks Jakob

Hi! I want to automatically delete old messages from one user's Maildir, and I was thinking on running something like this: find /home/user/Maildir/cur/ /home/user/Maildir/new/ -daystart -mtime +15 -delete but I'm not sure if by deleting messages "manually" I will break the dovecot.index* files. What do you think? Thanks! Ildefonso.

It appears to be that 1.1 is a lot faster that 1.0. And server load levels have dropped.

Hi, all. Normally, i use 'domain.ltd/username/Maildir' as users' maildir path, if i change them to hash style, e.g. 'A0/B0/domain.ltd/C0/D0/username/Maildir', will it speed up the index operation for MDA? If we have 10000 users, which maildir path style will improve performance? Thanks very much. :) -- Best regards. Zhang Huangbin - Open Source Mail Server Solution for

Hi, I was wondering if there is a solution to the case when the user can't recieve emails because of being over quota, something like http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Trash, but for the lda, not the imap?

How is verbose_proctitle supposed to work? I set it in the config but I don't see anything particularly verbose while the mailbox is connected. This is while the connection is open, immediately after deleting a message, before closing the connection. Same for IMAP and POP tests. # `ps axu | grep dove` # root 20392 0.0 0.0 1888 540 ?

I have a problem with Dovecot 1.1.6 after having reset the UID/GID information for a few email accounts. I get the following error: Dec 5 12:26:03 ns6 dovecot: POP3(mike): stat(/home/popuser_mike/Maildir/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=1366 egid=1366 missing +x perm: /home/popuser_mike/Maildir) Dec 5 12:26:03 ns6 dovecot: POP3(mike): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred.

OK.. So I synced the clock.... and got .... dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 1 seconds. I'll sleep now until we're back in present. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards ( The first time I did this the clock moved backwards 2 hours after a timezone change and dovecot suicided ) I think I understand the concept ... However a mail server should probably be synchronized to the

Hello, I'm a recent convert to dovecot from courier-imap and the performance has certainly improved. I'm running the vanilla 1.0.7 version that came with the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 distro. I've come across a similar problem that was posted by Ralf Hildebrandt earlier this year under the same subject, but that thread just seems to have died off. I'm also using per- user maildirsize

The "Sortable lists demo" is almost perfect for a project, but once you drag all the items from the first list to the second, you cannot drag back to the first. I need to be able to have several <ul>s that can be dragged back and forth between, even when one is emptied. Possible solutions? 1) create a <li> that is styled as a header, and is unmovable 2) modify the

Hello All, I've been studying dovecot for replacing my company's current system and I got a little worried about an aspect of the dovecot's design. I was surprised that dovecot doesn't use prefork for its mail processes, forking a new processes for each new client connection. Talking in the #dovecot channel I was gave a scenario of a system supporting ~40k users with 4 servers

So much changes in this migration that the ideal way to do it would be to begin with a few users or a department, then migrate the users affinity group by affinity group: first an institute or so, then the faculty, then the staff, then the students, moving to bigger and bigger groupings as the bugs work out of the migration and the move becomes more assured. We use sendmail and procmail.

Hi, I just migrated from dovecot 1.0.rc29 to 1.1.7, from Sparc platform to Intel, it went very well. In the process I merged folders and excluded folders from being copied. User rights on folders were kept/set. I thought I'd share my migration script with you folks. If there's an interest to put it on the wiki I can do that, but I'm not sure in what page. Use it as a starter if you

Here are a few more patches. Still keeping it easy for now. Again the basis for these patches is dovecot-1.1.7. Patch #6. Solve a cross-compilation endianness issue. Currently, Dovecot assumes that the endianness of the build system is the same as the endianness of the runtime system. This is not necessarily true. We ran into this while compiling for i386 on a ppc machine. The

With the release of dovecot 2.0, the community of the Dovecot mailling list, and us at Shelton Computers, would sincerely like to thank the developers of Dovecot. For, if it were not for you, we would be stuck with Courier and would not have the impressive features of Sieve, as opposed to the unmanageable scripts, by end users, of maildrop. *Our gratitude goes to, but not limited to:* *Timo
